'Metalocalypse'/DETHKLOK Creator Collaborating With GENE HOGLAN On New Project

April 20, 2010

Brendon Small, co-creator of "Metalocalypse", the smash hit animated series on Adult Swim featuring the fictitious metal band DETHKLOK, told Metal Injection at the the Revolver Golden Gods Awards that he is working on a new side project with Gene Hoglan (FEAR FACTORY, DETHKLOK, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, TESTAMENT, DEATH, DARK ANGEL).

He said: "I'm finishing the season then I'm going into the studio and I'm finishing a solo record that me and Gene Hoglan, and the same DETHKLOK producer did, so if you like DETHKLOK, it'll be the same thing, and it'll come out this fall."

When asked if the tone of the record would be less silly, he quipped, "It'll be as wise-assy as it needs to be but if you like the riff style, the double kicks, the Gene Hoglan playing, the guitar playing… the vocals will be a bit more melodic but still a heavy project."

Created by Small, the "Metalocalypse" television series launched on Adult Swim in 2006 and the series' third season recently debuted on Adult Swim. One of the most popular series on the cable network, "Metalocalypse" portrays DETHKLOK as a band with unheard-of popularity, even ranking them as the seventh-largest economy on earth. The band released its first album, "The Dethalbum", in 2007, which debuted at No. 21 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell more than 300,000 units to date. The album-matching songbook went on to be among the bestselling album-matching songbooks of the year. Topping the first week success of "The Dethalbum", the heavy metal juggernauts have again exploded onto The Billboard 200 with the release of "Dethklok: The Dethalbum II", which debuted at No. 15 and sold nearly 45,000 copies in its first week.
